Perhaps this will help, even though fuzzy.

I did not collect it so the data may not be good.
I have T. brevipennis and will compare it.
thanks |

| I may be completely out of topic but... the insertion of the antennae has the typical Neoplocaederus-look. I also see spines on the sides of the pronotum. A good vertical sight on pronotum & head could be helpful. |

True; however, body larger, antennae shorter, pronotum with "strange" sculpturing", V antennomere flabellate and not spined, etc. suggest that it is a female of Prosphilus, as this one. |

I am uncertain between Prosphilus pectinicornis Veiga Ferreira, 1953 and P. serricornis (Dalman, 1817)
Both are present in South Africa. |
